Wimbledon Quarter Reviews Summary

Location & Accessibility

Pros:

• "Right beside Wimbledon station, this shopping centre is brilliantly located, especially when the weather's not the best."
• "The shopping centre is next to Wimbledon station and easily accessible."
• "Good physical connection to Wimbledon tube and train stations - the covered walkway does such a great job esp on rainy days."
• "Brilliant access from tube/train station which are located on the lower level."
• "The proximity to the train station makes it quite convenient."
• "Very nice visit. Very handy that the centre adjoins the rail and tram station."
• "It is ideally located right next to Wimbledon Station for National Rail, London Underground District Line & Tramlink services."

Cons:

• "If you park in the multi car park be prepared for no lifts & some exits into the Centre closed."
• "Car park is expensive and can be hard to navigate if you're not familiar."
• "Parking entrance/exit very narrow I tend to damage my wheels every time when leaving the car park so overall I avoid it unless I use the public transport."
• "Overpriced parking which charges you for even being in the carpark for less than 15 minutes at £2.50 absolutely ridiculous."
• "Parking is still the same price at £2.50 got the first hour."
• "Car park is a bit expensive and can get very busy at peak shopping times and over holidays."
• "They had the audacity of asking me to pay extra despite me returning a very visible uneatable food item."

Shopping Experience

Pros:

• "I had an appointment for a consultation with Look Fabulous Forever in their pop-up shop. It was a lovely experience."
• "Good shopping centre just beside the station with a wide range of shops, usually from the usual national chains, in a clean, well-lit and pleasant environment."
• "This Centre is the right size for me, just the right amount of shops with no distance between them, and adjoining the railway and tube stations, so you needn't get wet."
• "Nice range of shops in a small mall located next to the railway station."
• "A great variety of shops and it would probably take a good day to check them all out."
• "Centre had lots to offer. Where some shops have discontinued, some fabulous ones have appeared in their place."
• "A wide selection of shops including the consistently good coffee at Costa."

Cons:

• "Its boring and doesn’t have any good shops and there are barely any shops too, also, there is not enough seating."
• "Not the biggest selection of shops, with Kingston not too far away a better option for serious shopping."
• "It's a shame that the stores within the centre are gradually closing. There's hardly anything left."
• "Very poor to what it was previously - footfall appears to have fallen dramatically."
• "Disappointed. Building works have cut its size dramatically."
• "An very poor shopping centre. Clean enough but nothing notable."
• "Dreadful shopping area - Wimbledon deserves better - shops are withdrawing from this badly designed dinosaur of a shopping centre."

Cleanliness & Atmosphere

Pros:

• "First thing that struck me is how very clean it is there."
• "It’s always so clean and fresh and I’m so glad more shops are coming back into it."
• "It always feels bright and clean."
• "Nice clean walkways, airy and bright."
• "The centre is bright, clean and full of all the top high street shops."
• "Everything is very well cleaned and is in an easily accessible location which makes it more appealing."
• "The toilets are nicer than what was there previously, too."

Cons:

• "It is quite boring and a depressing atmosphere compared to other shopping centres in London."
• "Not the greatest and outdated. There is no cheery atmosphere, it has a detached feeling."
• "Was a sad atmosphere with majority clothing retailers closed."
• "Nothing to see here move along."
• "Declining centre fallen on hard times."
• "The food court looks very abandoned with hardly any store open apart from McDonald's."
• "The Cafe Court has no food shops or restaurants, just the toilets."

Food & Beverage Options

Pros:

• "There is a Costa coffee but I can't remember another eatery in there."
• "Love this place! Has a lovely cafe in there which does really nice food and a Mr Pretzel so you can't go wrong."
• "A touch of old Italy in modern Surrey well priced and left feeling happy will return soon when in Morden."

• "There's also a McDonald's on the top floor and a classy, restaurant on the ground floor."
• "A few nice places to dine and drink too."
• "There's an abundance of places to eat; the top floor has McDonald's with copious seating, which is also where you'll find the bathrooms."

Cons:

• "The top floor Food court has only 1 or 2 food places now open so is more than half empty."
• "The food court can benefit from inviting more options of fast-food variety as there's only McDonald's and possibly one another option, it could benefit from making the food court more vibrant and useful."
• "On The ground floor/first floor there is a small Costa Coffee shop, and well, that's about it."
• "Bought Egg muffin from McDonald's and it appeared as if it was prepared the day before."
• "It's okay here for a small shopping centre. It could do with more food options in the food court other than MacDonald's."
• "Food area with just a maccyD (and an overpriced restaurant that appears to be shut), though other food outlets as well."
